Under SCO Xenix 386 VR 2.2.3 the following message is frequently reported during "shutdown" on 50MB Qi systems:-

WARNING: HARDFILE FAILED TO PARK DISK HEADS.

The equivalent message under SCO xenix 386 VR 2.3.2 is:-

st506: ERROR: on fixed disk dev=/6777215/84
block=-268370267 isr=000000FF

Please be advised that the above messages are warnings only and need not concern your customers. However, if a system is to be moved, it is advisable to manually park the disk heads first, using the relevant MS-DOS or Reference disk utility.
